I am doing a POC on a Data Connection form that submits data to a DB through a web service.

Since i am not retrieving data from the DB there is no way for IP (sp1) to determine the structure of my DB or DataSet.

So my question is:
How do i tell IP how the schema for my deserialized DataSet looks?

An ugly workaround would be to create a retrieving WS also just to get the schema info, but theres gotta be an easier way than that??!

thx

ps: is it possible to subscribe to threads or channels?
the FAQ mentions that this is possible if the moderator turns it on.
It really would be a great time saving feature!

AndersR,

If u wish have only scheme of your dataset without data, maybe need try using the GetXmlSchema method of dataset and load then in a xmldocument to getback to IP.

xmlDoc.LoadXml(ds.GetXml())
Return xmlDoc

I just read up on the subject on both Halsteads book and the thread on usenet that inspired the chapther he wrote on the subject ;-)
